I made a mistake of getting my Google phone number before downloading the app. I can’t figure out how to tie that phone number to the app now. Any suggestions?
Google Voice typically requires a US phone number for verification. If you don’t have one, you might need to use a virtual phone number service to get a US number. Once you have that, you can use it to set up Google Voice. 👌
Good question! When you use a Google Voice number, your original linked phone number isn't directly visible to people you call or text. However, Google Voice does have access to your linked number. For extra privacy, make sure you review your Google Voice settings and permissions. If you’re concerned about privacy, consider using additional measures like a separate email account or two-factor authentication.
If there aren’t any available numbers in your area, Google Voice might suggest nearby area codes or offer alternative options. You could also try again later as numbers can become available over time. If you have more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! 🤔
Yes Bill, you can forward your cell number to your Google Voice number, which allows you to keep your Google Voice number private. In your Google Voice settings, you can set up call forwarding so that calls made to your Google Voice number are forwarded to your cell phone. This way, you don’t have to share your Google Voice number directly.
@@TrevorNace Thanks!! It seems to me that by forwarding your cell # to the google, then your friends don't need to remember another # and since I'm only going to be gone 2 weeks, there will be others that I'd not think about that would call me. Thanks again for your time.
That was probably on purpose. He could not have shown it to us without giving up his security, so that would have been a bad idea. It was probably just a mild joke.
Did this work for you?
Yes? 😀 Give me a shoutout in the comments!
No? 😢 Leave a comment with your problem and we'll figure it out together.
Thank you for making this video. I was searching for a newer video about GV to see if its still relevant, because most videos are over 5 years old.

With the new google number, can ppl still trace your original linked phone number?

What happens if your area does not have an available number?

Thanks for the vid. For international can you forward your cell # to the google # so that you don't need to actually give out the Google #? Thanks
